Topic: Anal fissure (Read 313 times)

I'm Ahmed 27 years old immigrated to austria so I'm Egyptian... I had anal fissure two times and the doctor asked for a colonscopy, I had it yesterday the doctor spoke in English everything is normal but I took a biopsy for microscope from the small intensine. I told here why do I get anal fissure she said I do not know !! <-- not friendly

I'm too much worried, can't sleep, got back to half cipralex and lamictal :'( so much depressed, the worst is cancer I know, but the problem is I won't get treatment here in austria, because of my visa, they would fire me from work and I won't have health insurance ? I don't know, but I do not know what should I do, I'm just thinking about the worst things

Thanks so much for your reply. it relieved me little bit. she said its normal, but why she's taking biopsy ? The thing is I asked her why I get anal fissure, she said " I do not know " !!! very weird and she was not helpful at all :*****

I think biopsy is a really common procedure with colonoscopies. I've never heard of needing one for fissures, though. I get those all the time and have never even seen a doctor - they're really nothing serious at all.

I get them alot too and have since I was younger because I have hard poop all the time. If it gets bad enough use a safe non addictive laxative like Miralax to get things soft again so it can heal. If they checked you out you dont need to worry about cancer or any of that. Not sure why they went to that extent with a colonoscopy but as molly said that is part of the routine with a colonoscopy. its one of those things of while they are in there they might as well. Atleast now you can have peace of mind that all tests came back. now work on water and good diet.
